I'm just wondering if the newest version of mail and calendar will work on windows 8.1 & not just Windows 10? I ask because I don't know if there are any apps not working on 8.1 that do on 10. I have one machine that I'm considering putting Win 8.1 back on, but I now have a concern of the...

To add to the mix...I have a computer that I previously installed Windows 8 on it, and I think I could change it on that machine.

Thanks.... So, I guess I'll have to uninstall windows 8 preview, reinstall windows 7...Then I can install the final Windows 8 release... If I'm understanding that right

Hello, I hate to ask a question someone else has asked, but I searched and could not find the answer. Does anyone know if we will have to uninstall Windows 8 Consumer preview before installing the release of Windows 8? I am looking forward to the final release & the $15.00 deal is great...

Hello, Does anyone know where Windows 8 stores Metro app data? For instance, Quick Note...Where is the actual data stored? I looked in the user\appdata & didn't see it.:D Thanks! ~roystreet

Howdy everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of a wildcard character for when searching via Metro search? If I just input a partial word, it will bring up results with that text in it, but what if I want to use a wildcard phrase within it. For example - I want this type of search...

Thanks for your thoughts guys, I appreciate it. I was hoping that I didn't have to go to the old desktop just to see the percentage level, as well as the approximate time left. I imagine that information will be available one day as mentioned in the 1st reply. I still spend much of my time in...

Hello, I've always enjoyed a battery percentage indicator on the taskbar. Where you can click or hover over & it will give the percentage left & approximate amount of time left on the battery. It appears that in Metro it will only show an image of a battery where you can kinda tell if it's...
